+//! Ways to create a `str` from bytes slice.
+
+use crate::mem;
+
+use super::validations::run_utf8_validation;
+use super::Utf8Error;
+
+/// Converts a slice of bytes to a string slice.
+///
+/// A string slice ([`&str`]) is made of bytes ([`u8`]), and a byte slice
+/// ([`&[u8]`][byteslice]) is made of bytes, so this function converts between
+/// the two. Not all byte slices are valid string slices, however: [`&str`] requires
+/// that it is valid UTF-8. `from_utf8()` checks to ensure that the bytes are valid
+/// UTF-8, and then does the conversion.
+///
+/// [`&str`]: str
+/// [byteslice]: slice
+///
+/// If you are sure that the byte slice is valid UTF-8, and you don't want to
+/// incur the overhead of the validity check, there is an unsafe version of
+/// this function, [`from_utf8_unchecked`], which has the same
+/// behavior but skips the check.
+///
+/// If you need a `String` instead of a `&str`, consider
+/// [`String::from_utf8`][string].
+///
+/// [string]: ../../std/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8
+///
+/// Because you can stack-allocate a `[u8; N]`, and you can take a
+/// [`&[u8]`][byteslice] of it, this function is one way to have a
+/// stack-allocated string. There is an example of this in the
+/// examples section below.
+///
+/// [byteslice]: slice
+///
+/// # Errors
+///
+/// Returns `Err` if the slice is not UTF-8 with a description as to why the
+/// provided slice is not UTF-8.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// Basic usage:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::str;
+///
+/// // some bytes, in a vector
+/// let sparkle_heart = vec![240, 159, 146, 150];
+///
+/// // We know these bytes are valid, so just use `unwrap()`.
+/// let sparkle_heart = str::from_utf8(&sparkle_heart).unwrap();
+///
+/// assert_eq!("💖", sparkle_heart);
+/// ```
+///
+/// Incorrect bytes:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::str;
+///
+/// // some invalid bytes, in a vector
+/// let sparkle_heart = vec![0, 159, 146, 150];
+///
+/// assert!(str::from_utf8(&sparkle_heart).is_err());
+/// ```
+///
+/// See the docs for [`Utf8Error`] for more details on the kinds of
+/// errors that can be returned.
+///
+/// A "stack allocated string":
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::str;
+///
+/// // some bytes, in a stack-allocated array
+/// let sparkle_heart = [240, 159, 146, 150];
+///
+/// // We know these bytes are valid, so just use `unwrap()`.
+/// let sparkle_heart = str::from_utf8(&sparkle_heart).unwrap();
+///
+/// assert_eq!("💖", sparkle_heart);
+/// ```
